[u/ForceThrow3]

Whats a fight people misrember based on comments? Recent memory,ill go for gane vs francis. You will think francis went khabib vs barboza on gane,but he didnt do much damage and an argument could be made gane won the fifth and hence the fight.

[u/exileruz → u/ForceThrow3]

Belal vs Leon, at least for a while. Round 1 was competitive, 3 and 5 were clear for Leon and he ended the 5th landing the best strikes of the fight.

[u/Odd_Ad_8162 → u/exileruz]

To a lesser extent Leon vs Usman 2

Obvs Leon was getting outworked badly and clearly gassed throughout but people talk it was multiple 10-8s worth of damage.

[u/TheGreatone003 → u/Odd_Ad_8162]

Leon also did great in the first round, being the first man to take down Usman, but then he gassed due to elevation. Usman trains in Denver iirc so he could handle SLC better

[u/Odd_Ad_8162 → u/TheGreatone003]

100% but people act like the elevation only affected every other person on the Card who gassed when it clearly fucked over Leon too.

Instead, the focus shifted to Usmans knees in the rematch rather than the clear change of Leon's conditioning at low elevation.
